Garlands for Grants Tomb.

Seeing so many beautiful flowers heaped
upon the tomb of Gen. Grant-which I
visited the other day-my curiosity was
excited by the question: where do they
all come from; do they serve no other
purpose than to deck the great soldiers
resting place until they die?" Garlands
are appropriate to the soldier, living or
dead, but the best men are not remem-
bered always, and so the profusion Of the
flowers surprised me.
A few days later, in conversation with
Col. Fred Grant, learned the sources Of
the garlands, and also that their useful
ness outlives their beauty.
''My mother has always visited the
tomb every day until the last two weeks, 1"
said Col Grant ''Then she caught cold
and it settled into serious illness, which
has confined her to her room and to the
Doctors care, so that she could not make
her daily visits"
''Does the family furnish all the floral
decorations which fill the Vault" asked.
'tNo, no indeed, we do not" replied
Col. Grant. "Once every week my mother
takes out large design made of cut flow
ers. These remain there until she orders
the guard to remove them and replace
them with the fresh ones she may send.
So that all the time her selection of flow
ers is there"
''The other flowers are from friends,
then?''
''Some are, but the majority are from
strangers. can say that daily, without
an exception, floral membranes are re-
ceived from all parts of the United States.
We order them placed in the vault, where
they remain until faded and withered. l"

Presenting q Good Front.

The First Virginia was the flower of
the southsrn army, but long continued
disaster had worn out all its brilliant uni
forms and left it impoverished and unable
to buy new ones. Count de Joinville, one
of the French princes visiting the army,
reviewed the regiment near Richmond,
Gen. Lee standing by. The soldiers had
managed to present a good front by patch
ing up their gray uniforms. But in order
to get the patches they had been obliged
to cut cloth out of their coats and jackets,
leaving great spaces of white cotton be-
tween their shoulders. Everything went
along all right while the review and in
spection was at front face" But when
the count gave the command to break
into columns of companies, and the men
obeyed, he was astonished to see the
white backs.
"What does this mean?" he asked of
Col. Darlington, their commander. since

advancing and saluting, the Virginian
replied:

The Presidents Letter.

The following sensible editorial we
take from the last issue of the Usage
City Free Press, edited by that Stirring
Republican, lion. Jake Admire:
The presidents letter which we
print to-day, explaining why he has
abandoned his intended visit to st.
Louis on tue occasion of the national
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, will, no doubt, be read by
everybody who reads anything. And,
We do not believe it will be read by any
one who will not experience a deep
sense of modification aud shame that
the president of the United States has
been obliged to write such a letter.
The men who are responsible for hay
ing placed the old soldiers of the coun-
try in the attitude of Directing to the
presidents visit to st. Louis, have not
only brought disgrace upon the Grand
Army of the Republic, but they have
brought disgrace upon the whole coun-
try in the eyes of the civilized world.
They have not only done this, but they
have done the Republican party more
harm than anything that has happened
since the war.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
not political organization. 1t is COM
posed of old union soldiers of every
political faith, and one of its. principal
tenetS is that it shall be kept free from
partisan influences. Yet, by the ex-
IRENE, radical and crazy utterances of
Gems. Fairchild and Tuttle and other
men Of less note, who are allied to the
Grand Army for political purposes
only, it has been placed in a position of
special and organized hostility to the
president of the United States and the
political party he represents. 1t has
been placed in the position of threat
ening the president with public insults
and bodily harm if he should be pres
ent at its national encampment. 1t is
a false position and one that the old
soldiers of the country, who composed
the rank and file of the union armies,
and bore the brunt of the great war for
the restoration of the union, have no
sympathy with. If the presentation of
such a spectacle to the world was nee
essary, an army of one hundred thou
sand old union soldiers could be organ
lied in ten days to protect the presi-
dent from insults and harm on this
occasion! And, we now predict, that
unless the Grand Army throughout the
country repudiates promptly and fully
the false position in which it has
placed by the vainglorious boosters
who have claimed to speak for it, its
requiem as a non-political organization
has been sung and its funeral has been
preached.

Democratic Pension Figures.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July S.-A
statement prepared at the pension office
shows that during the last fiscal yea1
there was issued 112, $40 pension certif-
Gates. OF this number 1914 were
original cases; s, 400 were Mexican wal
claims, under the act of January %,
1887; 10000 were 'amputation" cases,
under the act of August 6, 1886; and
42,107 were increase claims, the re-
mainder were reissue, restoration, >
or accrued claims. This showing is
said to be the best ever made by the
office. In 1886, with proofs of disability
in nearly all cases practically at hand,
there were 5O,127 original allowances
made, and this was the best record up
to this year. The statement is also
made that there is not a case in the
pension Office that has not been over
hauled during the last year. and the
proper steps taken to advance it toward
settlement.-ArkanSaS City Democrat.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BOschee'S German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump-
ton, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
with out immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumPtive, at least to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bdttles to try, sold at 10 cents.
Regular size 75 cents. Sold by all

Shrinkage of Freight Cars.

How much will freight cars shrink In
weight when put in use? The cars which
the Pennsylvania railroad built at Al
toona, and which the Westinghouse Brake
company is using at Burlington, show a
shrinkage of from 500 to 900 pounds per
car from the weights marked on them
already, and they have only been out of
the shops a few weeks. Many of them
show shrinkage of 800 pounds. This is
the weight of 100 gallons of water. It
hardly seems credible that so much could
be egaporated from a single car. The
alternative is a difference in scales by
which the weighing is done.-Railway

Doing cuisines. In Hong Kong.

Hong Kong contains large Chinese
population. Its money II the Mexican
dollar, worth about eighty OF our Ameri-
can cents. But cash is so uncommon that
a great deal of business Is done by credits,
or chits-simply slips Of paper, with the
names of articles, the prices and the sig
nature of the buyer, which are kept till
the first of the month or the day of set
ting. Then comes the grand squaring
up. With the Chinese themselves all &C
counts must be balanced at the beginning
of the new year. Regular business is in
terrupted and paying and collecting takes
its place for the time being. And not IN
common is it for a Chinese merchant who
has been unfortunate or guilty OF mis-
management or fraud in business, when
he finds that he cannot make himself right
with his creditors at the annual time OF
reckoning, to burn his stock, his books
and papers, that he may conceal his
troubles or his defalcation in this general
catastrophe.
Pigeon or business English Is the Ian
guage used in conversation with the ma
tives, and an abominable combination and
Encouragement of words it is, too. Far
more difficult to learn than good English,
it has, however, obtained so strong foot
ing in China that there are places where
it is regularly taught. ''Who boy one
piece box topside number four room have
take?" demanded the proprietor of the
hotel when asked to find out what had
become of missing piece of luggage, and
strange indeed did it sound. But it was
far better understood than if it had been
asked in the most correct English, and
one finds himself soon dropping into this
curious and barbarous language and using
expressions of which his mother grammar
would hardly believe him capable.-Cor.

Georges Land Folly.

One of the heaviest blows Henry
Georges land theory has received is
that delivered by Prof. w. I. Harris, in
the Forum for July. 1t is not of course
for moment assumed that that theory
can long deceive any considerable num-
Der of our workingmen. For time a
goodly crowd may follow him, just as
they would follow any other unusually
intelligent man, of manifest sincerity
and plausible scheme for fairer dis
tribution of the wealth of the nation.
But sooner or later the eyes of all will
be opened to the fact that land is but
one of several tools employed by mon
opolistS to reap without sowing, and it
is not by any means necessary to
abolish individual ownership of land
in order to prevent Its beng unduly
mOnopolized, any more than it is ne
cesSary to abolish individual ownership
in money, in order to prevent its being
eoOO " SOOASO biiO law W pOll-
tics and to squeeze the people.
1t is confidently reiterated that
sooner or later all of this will be made
plain, even to the most gullible of Mr..
Georges present followers, but in the
meantime articles like that of Prof.
Harris will serve to provide Georges
antagonists with data to hasten the
coming of the revelation. The Profess
sor, having access to the most reliable
statistics, shows that the rent for
ground eXacted in this country aver
ages but q cents per inhabitant per
day, or about IS per year. There are
three (strictly speaking 30 inhabi-
tants for every wage earners, would
give but s24 per year to each. What
nonsense it is to assume that. adding
this sum to the income of the poverty
stricken, would lift them to the COM
fort level! @5isfia

Chauncey NJ. Depew as a Laborer.

All this drawing of lines on the labor
question is nonsense" said Mr.. Depew.
Snow, when I was practising law I used
to be in my office every morning at

who was present.
"By the way, Larry" went on Chauncey
NJ, ''what is your most vivid recollection
in regard to those old daysY''

"that my most vivid recollection clusters
around the fact that you had an awfully

to sweep out and warm your Office, so that
you could get to work at 6."-Detroit

impossible to assume with any show
of reason that it can be carried out, at
least for generations to cOme-and we
still have in these figures the demon
stration that much will yet remain to
be done to abolish poverty"
In other words, the abolition of in
dividual ownership of land cannot be
effected, and if it could be, the object
Mr.. George seeks to achieve by it
would be as far as ever from accom-
plishment.-U Union Leader.

General Master Workman Powderly
is determined to retire from office in
October. His health is failing him and
the ardOuous duties of the office compel
him to take this step. The Knights
who have been fighting Powderly will
recognize his worth when a new man
steps in his place, for it is not probable
that his successor can give the general
satisfaction, and display the executive
ability, good sense and sound judgment
that has marked Powderly's reign in a
thankless office.
